Xbox One has garnered a lot of sales during the holiday season. Now, Microsoft has a treat for its fans - brand new colors for the Xbox One controllers.

Microsoft unveiled two brand new colors of the XBox One wireless controller. The controllers will now come in either "Red" or "Green/Orange" colors. The controllers are the company's latest design for the Xbox One line. The first model of it is introduced in E3 last year alongside the next iteration of the XBox series, Xbox One S. Despite having different color templates, both controllers share the same specifications catered for the XBox One console.

The Red controller features a two-tone matte red with gloss highlights on the trigger. The backside of the controller features a darker shade of red (border-lining maroon) while the front part sports the glossy red. The buttons also sport a reddish color, unlike the previous XBox One controllers that have different colors for each of the buttons.

The Green/Orange controller sports a similar scheme with the Red controller. The controller sports a glossy matte green furnish with hints of orange on the joysticks. Like with its red counterpart, the buttons also sports the green color to match the front view of the controller. The controller's back sports a darker shade of green, almost a borderline to black.

Both controllers will have access to all of the features of the XBox wireless controller. This includes improved wireless range and Bluetooth technology. The wireless controllers can be played on Windows 10 devices and the Samsung Gear VR using its Bluetooth capabilities.

The Red and Green/Orange controllers are priced at around $64.99 each and are available over at the Microsoft Store. The Red one is the first to be released while the Green/Orange one is scheduled for release on January 24 in North America and January 30 in selected stores worldwide.
